Default Re: 68 z28 ralley wheels powder coat or paint gun

I bet if you would ask some top end resto guys you would get about the same response that I will share. Powder coat has it's place, garden tractors, farm implements, tooling, school desks, etc.
Properly prepped steel that is painted with high quality "Epoxy" primer like PPG DPLF series is a great choice, and IMO, looks better too. And offers the best corrosion protection.
And like Eddie stated, any defects in the base metal will show, also the powder coat film is thick, and if it does chip it is not easy to repair.
As far as the Argent Silver, I have been using PPG 8568, or PPG OMNI line in acrylic enamel. It sprays out nice and thin and looks more OE than using Urethane.
